Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Petit Port Sidi Lakhdar
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces N, so wind from the S blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. We found no boat hire, sailing school or club within 10 km on the map, so bring your own boat here. The sea is about 16°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 25°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: Camping touristique bord de mer, سيدي الأخضر, 1 km. Nearest beds: Mostaganem, 42 km (about 1h 15m by car). Nearest airport: Chlef Aboubakr Belkaid International Airport (CFK), 84 km.
